Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Holding a Grudge (1)_1

Before Brown Kress arrived, the model, who was also Brown Kress’s mistress, had been arrogantly clamoring that once Brown arrived, she would make everyone present suffer.

Situ Xin wanted to ignore this mistress who was causing a scene on the set, but all the other models were wary of her, afraid that one slip-up might earn them the mistress’s enmity.

Seeing the models tiptoeing around, Situ Xin lost interest in continuing the work at hand and announced a break.

"Xiao Xin, do you want me to have someone drag this woman out?" Xiao Muli, seeing that the woman was disrupting Situ Xin’s work, flashed a cold light in his eyes.

"No need, let her stay here and wait for Brown Kress to take her away." Situ Xin had specifically summoned Brown Kress just to catch him off guard and to relish the sight of him in a tight spot, temporarily appeasing the anger in her heart.

"Family Head Xiao." After walking in, Brown Kress’s first sight was of Xiao Muli, chatting with Situ Xin and the others.

"President Brown." Although Xiao Muli had little regard for Brown Kress, he still maintained the necessary politeness. But Situ Xin made no effort to conceal her disdain on her face.

"President Brown, it seems your mistress holds quite a place in your heart, doesn’t she? You got here so quickly." Situ Xin said sarcastically.

Brown Kress’s face changed colors with Situ Xin’s words, cursing inside. He wasn’t rushing here for the mistress but because of Xiao Muli. Just last night, he, along with his daughter, had offended Muli, and he was afraid that today’s events might lead to his direct blacklisting.

By now, Brown Kress had clearly recognized Situ Xin’s standing in Muli’s heart, so although he was dying to reprimand Situ Xin, he didn’t dare show it on his face. Brown Kress had just opened his mouth, but no words had yet come out.

The young model saw Brown and flung herself at him, replacing her previous arrogance with a pitiful look and even managed to squeeze out a few tears, as if she had just been bullied. "HONEY, you finally came. You have to stand up for me, they, especially her, she bullied me." The model pointed at Situ Xin and said.

This model must have been clueless, not realizing the atmosphere in the room. She came right up to Brown Kress to act coquettishly and tattle, without noticing why Brown Kress would appear here at just a phone call from Situ Xin’s group.

Leaning on Muli, Situ Xin watched the model playact with Brown Kress, "Ha, President Brown, sorry about that, I bullied your mistress. If you have any complaints, feel free to voice them. However, I also reserve the right to my own opinion. Oh, by the way, I don’t mind having a good chat with your wife about this."

Brown Kress was already displeased with his mistress making inappropriate scenes like this. Usually, with less influential people, he didn’t mind standing up for her to vent some anger, since he was quite fond of her body.

But that only applied when his career was not at stake.

When Brown Kress heard Situ Xin mention his wife, a chill went through his heart. His external affair, if known by his wife, would make his life hell, and he might lose the support of his father-in-law’s family.

"Shut your mouth. Do you even know your place? I can’t believe just spoiling you a bit has made you so full of yourself," Brown Kress said through clenched teeth, glaring at his mistress.

"HONEY." The model didn’t expect this turn of events. Previously, a little bit of coquetry would always make Brown Kress utterly indulgent. This very indulgence fostered her current brazen demeanor.

"What are you shouting for? Leave here with me now. Otherwise, you can forget about continuing in the modeling world," Brown Kress stopped his mistress from speaking further, fearing she might say something even more offensive.

Xiao Muli had been watching the whole time, content to stay out of it as long as Situ Xin wasn’t the one being bullied.

"Family Head Xiao, my apologies for the disturbance, we’ve caused you trouble. Rest assured, once we’re back, I’ll teach her a proper lesson," Brown Kress finally played it smart, not daring to provoke Situ Xin any further. After speaking, he grabbed his mistress by the clothes and dragged her out forcefully.

It was unclear whether Brown Kress feared what more Situ Xin might say to infuriate him, or whether he was afraid that Muli might seek retribution for the mistress’s behavior. Without waiting for a response, he quickly disappeared with the model from Situ Xin’s view.

"She’s gone just like that?" Lu Juan had been expecting a confrontation, considering how brazen the model had been before, thinking her backer would surely put up a fight. While sitting with Situ Xin, she had been pondering which BL classmates she could call upon to bolster their position. But before she could decide on anyone, the model’s backer had already taken the model and left without a fuss.

"What else? Auntie, were you waiting for a show?" Situ Xin, seeing her aunt’s surprised expression, spoke with a smile.

"Of course not, it’s good that they left. We can now finish the work we have at hand," Lu Juan said, rising to her feet, and clapped her hands towards the group of models behind her: "Ladies, gather up."

The models, after witnessing the recent scene, behaved much more cooperatively, even the few who had looked at Situ Xin with envy and disdain dared not show it now.
